Thread: Fishing Day #1 of the “Worm” Full Moon (3 Day Period)

Fishing Day #1 of the “Worm” Full Moon (3 Day Period)

The forecast was for a beautiful early spring like day out on the ice. My intentions were to fish the Major.Period for the three hours and head back home. I experienced a slow bite during the Major.Period with 8 Bluegills stretching from 7.5” down to 2.0” a very sorry bite for a Major/Major

I slowly made my way back working part of the Major.Period to the launch.

Since the weather was so nice I decided to fish the Lull.Period and the Upcoming triple trigger.. Full Moon/Minor.Period/sunset overlap.

I completely skunked out on the Lull.Period with 0 bites and just a few sniffers… I could see them on sonar but could not get them to react… live bait, gulp waxies threw my best stuff at em, could not get them to move.

Once the Minor.Period rolled around I had my first bite with a lost 9” class b.gill at the hole… was the first bite in 3 hours plus.

Then the flood gates opened somewhat and the hole filled with fish moving up and down in the bottom 1/3 of the water column… the bite finished as quickly as it started with fish moving to the bottom and rejecting. Got a few mid sized perch that seemed to be in spawning mode.

7 fish during the Major.Period and 13 during the Minor.Period/sunset… half were in my eater slot no gills over 7.5” and perch approaching 8-10”

Very disappointed with the Major.Period…

the Lull. Period was confirmed with 0 fish… was expected.

the surprise was the triple trigger Minor.Period near dusk… some great action… no trophies… but some good eaters slot… all were CPR’ed. The Lull.Period seemed to end right on the money at 19:06.

Keep those Lines Tight!

Brrr...Hats off to you guys still fishing the ice. A chilly stiff wind here today caused me to seek a protected fishing area, I could not imagine adding ice to the mix. 7 inch Gills are fun to catch, no matter what the temps are. Good video, enjoyed it.
